Kalau sekarang hukum cambuk dalam ruangan,  sebab menurut keterangan
seorang teman dikatakan bahwa gubernur Irawani  diinstruksikan oleh Jakrata
supaya tidak  dilakukan hukum cambuk di depan umum tetapi dalam ruangan,
karena banyak protes dari dunia luar.

Originally Answered: Why does Aceh become the poorest province in Sumatra

Once upon a time, Aceh was known for its traders. It was them who got
Indonesia their first civilian airliner DC3, which later became the first
aircraft of the newly launched national airline Garuda Indonesian Airways
(later rebranded as Garuda Indonesia).

A lot has changed since then. Acehnese insisted on an autonomy president
Soekarno refused to grant. This led to the formation of separatist Free
Aceh Movement (Gerakan Aceh Merdeka, GAM) and a long term instability in
the region. Most of the raw material such as oil was extracted by foreign
entities such as Exonn Mobil and the revenues were sent to the central
government budget. Finally, in 2001, the Indonesian government granted Aceh
the autonomy and allowed the local authorities to manage the provincial
FDIs. Shariah law was introduced a few years later and the province was
ravaged by a tsunami that caused death of about 170 000 people and created
a damage worth about USD 7.7 billion. For a province that had a little more
than 4 million people, this was a significant damage. However, the
provincial government decided that enforcement of Shariah law was more
important than anything else, including the reconstruction. While other
Indonesian provinces, including Bengkulu, were focused on how to attract
investments and speed up development, Aceh thought that Shariah law that
was supposed to show how different the province is from other parts of
Indonesia should be the priority.

Once a proud region through which Islam entered other regions of Indonesia,
today Aceh has successfully positioned itself as a Freakland that is best
avoided. It leaves the impression of a place ruled by sadists who enjoy
caning and humiliating people in public. Now they’re considering to
introduce decapitating as a punishment for murder. One never knows when the
Aceh authorities will decide that you broke an Islamic law and that you
should be caned or killed in public. No traveler or businessperson wants to
risk ending up in this kind of situation. That is why Aceh has become a
tourist and business black hole in Indonesia - that it's a place one
(Indonesians and foreigners) should avoid at any cost. Even people who were
fighting for the wider autonomy of Aceh are in shock by what the province
has turned into.

Now the Aceh authorities have decided that caning will be conducted indoor
instead of outdoor, but the people will still have a chance to go and
watch. The reasoning? This has scared the tourists away, so the authorities
apparently believe that moving this primitive practice indoor will somehow
make tourists think that Aceh is a place worth visiting, but I highly doubt
it. This business avoidance has severely impacted the provincial economy,
especially the sectors dependent on tourism, such as hospitality businesses
(hotels and restaurants), transportation companies and travel agencies.

Although the authorities in Aceh claim that their local culture should be
respected by outsiders, it's funny how they seem to be surprised that the
tourists have decided that such creepy place is not worth being put on
their itinerary. The same goes for businesses looking for investment
opportunities.

Result: instead of being known for this

and this

Aceh is now known for this

Such a shame.
